Juventus star Can facing surgery as thyroid problem rules him out Man Utd clash

Juventus have confirmed that Emre Can will undergo tests and faces a spell on the sidelines after being diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that may require surgery.

Can has made 10 appearances for Juventus so far this season since joining from Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer.

The Germany international was an unused substitute in Juventus’ 1-1 draw against Genoa on Saturday but could now be facing a spell on the sidelines.

“Emre Can will undergo clinical tests and investigations for a thyroid nodule that could also require surgical treatment,” read a statement released on Juventus’ official website.
